Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says two-state solution is ‘humanity’s best hope’ to end suffering in Gaza.
Australia will recognise a Palestinian state in September, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced.
Albanese said on Monday that his government would formally announce the move when the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) meets in New York.
“A two-state solution is humanity’s best hope to break the cycle of violence in the Middle East and to bring an end to the conflict, suffering and starvation in Gaza,” Albanese said at a news conference in Canberra.
Australia’s announcement comes as Canada, France and the United Kingdom are preparing to formally recognise Palestine at the meeting next month, joining the vast majority of UN member states.
